Italy truly is a blessed country, offering an unbelievable range of sights and experiences to those embarking on a European vacation. From the architectural wonders and art treasures of the eternal city Rome, to the magical canals of Venice, Tuscany’s rolling hills and meadows to Amalfi Coast’s breathtaking & dramatic seascapes, Italy has it all.

The peninsula of Italy is home to hundreds of beaches, though they may not be the typical sandy spots you're used to. Sure, globetrotters visit Italian beaches to relax and soak up the sun, but what sets the shores apart from other destinations is the country's captivating natural landscape.

The Italian coast which includes both the Mediterranean and Adriatic seas, is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It doesn’t matter if you like secluded bays with calm waters quietly lapping onto the shore or fashionable holiday destinations full of celebrities and high class restaurants, the beaches in Italy are impressive in every way and there is something for everyone.

The Italian peninsula has a staggering 4,500 miles of coastline set alongside four seas: the Tyrrhenian and Ligurian to the west and the Adriatic and Ionian to the east and south. These waters may all be part of the Mediterranean, but their shores and marine environments are more diverse than anywhere else in Europe. And then there are Italy’s 800 or so islands—only 80 of which are inhabited—where still more unspoiled coastline and fathoms of ocean are ripe for relaxation and adventure.
